Here are some Imperial Studio portraits that have “fallen” into my collection over the past few years. Well composed and finished images, they must have occupied a place of pride for a number of families. The majority appear to be guard units from Prussia, Saxony, and Hesse.

These are some terrific portraits, Dirk.

 

If you don´t mind I´m adding a portrait that member Illiniworld forwarded to post it here. It shows one of his German relatives who was born in 1870. I believe he was an uhlan officer. Please correct me if I´m wrong. Any other info would be highly appreciated.

 

 

 

 

The 1st Royal Bavarian Uhlan Regiment was garrisoned at Bamberg.

Thanks for the hint!

Some great pictures. Thanks for posting. Dave

Thanks guys....I really like the work that these German portrait photographers did. They clearly knew their craft well.
